Dominik,
I too sync my brains on my MacBook with those on my office PC. For the most part it works like a charm. I occasionally, though less often now, have sync failures. But I am always able to eve...
Can we talk about Info Select?
8/30/2012
There were two things I liked about InfoSelect: I liked the way the tree was set up and how it operated, and I liked the lightning fast searches. The rest always seemed poorly designed and executed. I...

I remember now what it was that made me abandon the experiment to work with IS 8 again... It asked me to enter my registration code every time I ran it. There's probably a fix, but I didn't have the p...
Can we talk about Info Select?
8/26/2012
I recently tried running IS 8 on my Windows 7 machine, but it didn't work very well. I can't remember exactly what didn't work properly, however.
I am probably missing something, but it seems to me hierarchical tags don't offer much advantage. I mean I will get the same result searching for the tag "dog" as I will for one with the hierarch "Ani...

Actually, it wasn't that provocative, but only because I agree with everything you've written.

You should give Noteliner a try. It has some of the aspects of Brainstorm, but doesn't restrict you to a perpetual hoist view. It also allows tagging and has a decent search. I'm not sure how well it ...

Okay, still didn't work. I've renamed the image, so let's try again:

Greetings,
So, taking up the challenge of creating a taxonomy for "outliners," I've done a little sketching and thinking in Tinderbox and come up with a little theory.
First of all, let me propose t...

Peter,
Have you read Steven Berlin Johnson's article about how he uses DevonThink? It's insightful:

Inspiration is an interesting application and has been around a while. I think it suffers some from its main focus on the school market.
In my recent comparison of Windows outliners (it is available...

Hi, Peter,
I can't comment much on reference management or PDF annotating, as I don't do much of that (I've been using Papers for that, but I haven't leaned too heavily on it, so don't want to make a...

Well, the first task then is defining what we mean by "outliner." My own personal definition is different than those that seem to be used most here. The definition that fits what we collectively mean ...

I've spun off this topic from another thread. Bill suggested that we develop a taxonomy for outliners, which is a great idea in theory. In practice, however, I'm not so sure. For a glimpse of the uphi...
I am very gratified that my reviews have generated this kind of discussion. I'm certaininly learning a lot myself (both doing the reviews and reading the comments here and on my site).
As for OneNote...
After a short hiatus, I have added the next review, this time of Noteliner. You can find it here:
